²³ Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?

⁸ He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.

⁷ He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.

²⁷ Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God?

⁶ Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
